Building Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Assessment Expertise at Selected HBCU Institutions (HBCU-CREA)

传统黑人学院和大学本科项目（HBCU-UP）支持旨在提高hbcu科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教师研究能力的会议。伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的文化响应性评估与评估中心（CREA）将在2017年CREA会议上举办会前专业发展研讨会和后续会议，这将直接使hbcu的教师和管理人员受益。CREA 2017将于2017年9月27日至29日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行。专业发展活动旨在支持院校加强在STEM研究和评估方面的竞争力，以及提升相关院校在扩大参与研究方面的能力。选定的会议参与者将获得外部评估专业知识，支持在其校园实施与文化和环境相关的评估和评估实践，并被介绍给有兴趣在未来研究项目上合作的教师和顾问。通过提供专业发展，在HBCU研究人员社区中建立机构能力和专业知识，以进行文化响应性评估和评估，该项目为扩大参与相关的知识体系做出了重大贡献，并确保项目评估是严格的，文化响应性的，并与背景相关。

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) supports conferences that seek to increase the research capacity of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) faculty at HBCUs. The Center for Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Assessment (CREA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign will conduct a preconference professional development workshop and subsequent conference sessions at the 2017 CREA conference, which will directly benefit faculty and administrators at HBCUs. CREA 2017 will be held in Chicago, Illinois from September 27-29, 2017.The professional development activities are designed to support institutional efforts to strengthen competitiveness for research and evaluation in STEM and promote related institutional capacity in broadening participation research. Selected conference participants will gain access to external evaluation expertise, support in implementing culturally and contextually relevant assessment and evaluation practices on their campuses, and be introduced to faculty and consultants interested in collaborating on future research projects. By providing professional development that builds institutional capacity and expertise within the HBCU community of researchers to conduct culturally responsive evaluations and assessments, this projects contributes significantly to the body of knowledge related to broadening participation and ensures evaluations of projects are rigorous, culturally responsive, and contextually relevant.
